Strive to eat more seafood. Seafood contains omega-3 fatty acids that are considered a good type of fat because of the benefits they provide. Omega-3 benefits include:
- reduction of blood triglyceride levels,
- prevention of blood clotting (which can cause blood vessels to narrow and ultimately become blocked),
- possible reduction of blood pressure, and
- food sources are low in saturated fat.
Seafood tends to be the best source of omega-3 fatty acids. The American Diabetes Association recommends 2-3 servings of fish per week for dietary omega-3 fatty acids.
